Build a Green Roof Kit
Living green roofs, also known as vegetative roofs, offer a handful of environmental, physical and visual benefits; they act as a rainwater buffer protecting the waterproofing layer below, as an air purifier and temperature regulator, all whilst encouraging biodiversity to flourish.
Traditional green roofs which are made from sedum matting can be tricky to install due to the weight and required alterations to achieve the visuals you’re looking for. Our green roof kits are designed to take the stress and difficulty away, coming as a pre-prepared all-in-one tray system that’s lightweight, easy to install and has optimal plant coverage.
They’re suitable for a wide range of flat and pitched roof systems including:
To complete your kit, all you’ll need is the roof edge trims to secure each tray in position. Depending on the accessibility of the roof, you might also want to use walkway pebbles which act as a visually pleasing pathway to walk across. We also supply underlay fleeces which are used in conjunction with rubber membranes for protection.

Reduce your Environmental Impact
Green roofs are self-sufficient. They survive by absorbing rainwater and improving the local air quality by removing CO2 and replacing it with oxygen. They also act as a natural habitat for birds and bugs, attracting diverse wildlife that keep your garden feeling alive for years to come.
Protects your property
The vegetation layer absorbs rainwater, significantly reducing the chances of urban flooding and rainwater build up. The soil and vegetation layer also acts as a natural insulation layer, protecting the membrane from UV radiation and temperature changes.
Reduces Energy Consumption
Green roofs absorb and retain heat to help keep your home cool in the summer and warm in the winter, reducing your energy costs. They also act as an effective sound barrier to prevent outdoor noise from entering your home.
Reduces Urban Heat Island Effect
“Urban heat island effect” happens in cities, where they experience higher temperatures compared to rural areas due to the high concentration of buildings, cars, and other heat-absorbing materials. Green roofs reduce this as the vegetation and soil absorb and reduce the heat from the air.

Our green roof kits are designed for flat or low-pitched roofs. As long as your home structure can support the weight of the green roof system, low-pitched or flat roofs are the ideal base for green roofing systems.
Yes! A green roof is part of climate-proof construction, which is an initiative to create construction buildings with the intent to help the environment - or at least make it less harmful to the environment.
Green roofs last an average of 45 years. This lifespan can vary depending on the quality of the waterproofing below and how well maintained they are.
Our green roof kits are incredibly easy to install and act as an all-in-one solution to green roofing, combining a drainage layer, substrate and sedum/wildflowers together.
The only additional product you will need is the green roof edging trims to keep them in place; we don’t include these with our trays as there are many variables for how many you need including the size of your roof.
You will also need to ensure you have a suitable waterproofing layer below. We recommend EPDM.
